Petrophysics for Drilling Engineers

About the Course

This course covers wireline logging, MWD-LWD and their specific applications for wellbore stability. This course will be suitable for all drilling engineers, directional drillers and other geoscientists associated with drilling.

 

Course Objectives

The main objective of this training is to expose drilling to petrophysical evaluation of reservoirs so that they will understand what is going on as they are drilling on the field.

 

Course Content

Participants will cover wireline logging, MWD-LWD and their specific applications for wellbore stability.
